When you hear the word 'willing' what does that mean to you? 'Willing' has one meaning in the 2x2's and another outside.
This is the first of ten short episodes examining the misuse and tangling of language and vocabulary in the Truth 2x2's.
Trigger warning: discussing this language took me right back to my time in the group, so please be prepared that this episode might be tough to listen to if you're an ex-member.
How did you hear 'willing' used in the group? Share your thoughts on socials.
